Same. I'm doing all 20 Ripkens and that picture would have made it hands down my least favorite. I still don't really like it, but I do like it better than the Don C.

The Frank Thomas is awesome, though. This may be my first two-pack.

This is where I'm landing on today's cards when you boil it down.

I'll be skipping both.

Oldmamalan is always the better card. That is a great looking card, the best Ripken so far.

[goodsport97]

Been a good couple days of releases for me. Beck and Efdot are my two favorite artists of the set so far, I'm doing a Williams set, and Oldmanalan's style is really starting to grow on me

I just plug $21.44 in until stuff is in hand. I'm not going to fastidiously track $3-5 price movements.

Every time Oldmanalan posts a card it feels like Day 1 around here and people are horrified or astonished.

We are always guaranteed a great discussion

That helmet on the Rip is AWESOME!

Snap culture.

Those Sports Specialties scripts were selling so hot on the 'bay that every hat company had to drop a remake in FOMO.

Who has a Kings or Raiders or Dodgers one they wanna give me? Or any one at all haha. I probably sold 100 of em over the years.

(L)OL for the win!

Thomas is sweet though and I like how he is transitioning colors and staying in them for a bit. Like whoever said awhile back, it is so much like collage stuff I used to make.

Tupac everyday, which is a sound way to approach life and gain some perspective.

[CoEnt85]

I dig the Oldmanalan Ripken with the left border mirroring the pinstripes on the pants, definitely my favorite work of his so far.

[Silas Barnaby]

Any predictions on print runs for Fucci Mattingly and Taylor Robinson?

This guy is doing a weekly update of every card showing a week-to-week history on a spreadsheet you can download------

He's definitely stuck with his collage style. For me the earlier stuff, with the more obvious pieces of tape keeping the "pieces" on the card, really hit home. Reminded me of doing my inspiration "boards" before starting a project when I was still doing some art stuff (would tape some stuff to a piece of card board or poster board to get an idea of where I wanted to go).

I spent way more on the project than any person should, just asking about what drew people to the item regardless of price paid.

Part of the buying frenzy had to have centered around Blake adding his Jackie Robinson card at a 1:20 fanny rate. At that moment in time it was selling around $500 on the bay.

[ThoseBackPages]

Vides is also terrible, but i cant say thats his fault. he is an artist that turns 3D objects into 2D. Cards are already 2D

Ah, interesting and makes sense.

Yep. His stuff reminds me of a collage I made on a whim a long time ago. Except, y'know, way better.

[samcam]

Yes! I mentioned many pages ago how much I love the depth and 3-D effect holding the Gooden and it is so much that vibe for me as well.


Back in my more, ahem, experimental days LOL. I think 90 percent of this is from an ESPN The Mag. Looks great under black light

Let's see a picture of it. You might be too hard on yourself.

Yes! Context is important and that hasn't been mentioned in any of the posts I've seen here and elsewhere dogging the fanny.

I think I still have it packed away somewhere..I'll look for it.

I'm probably in a population of one this morning, but IMO today's cards are the best twofer yet.

Alan's card: Isn't he getting whacky? He's actually using two colors in his typeface. He's out there. But seriously this is one of the prettiest cards i've ever seen.

Beck's card: When I doodle during meetings, my doodles are always geometric and angular. I see other people's doodles with wavy, curvy lines and circles. I really like Tyson's work. I love the billboard on acid pastiche. I'm not the biggest Ermsy fan as you all know but it might be because my doodles match up with Tyson's work and curvy doodles match up with Ermsy's work.

PS: I tried new CBD oil this morning and it's really really good.

How can you tell about the oil?

Isn't CBD THC-free?

Yes. But I'm dangerous (to myself) when high on THC. I respond so well to THC it's like acid to me. And the last time I did a gram of coke my nose bled for three days and I couldn't sleep. What I need to do is relax. Chill.

Soak up those cool Oldman colors. That grey. That peach.

T Beck's card is my mind on coke.
Oldman's card is my mind on CBD.

These cards speak to me.

[AirplaneDon]

Interesting on the geometry angle. I just lose focus on that card. The lines don't lead me anywhere, whereas with Ermsy, his lines bring me to different places each time (and always somewhere).

What are your doodles like?

Siff Gwynn and Taylor Ripken would like a word with you.

What brand of oil did you get? I've been experimenting with CBD gummies for chronic pain and have been considering trying a topical.
